Windows 7: Not all Music Library appears on WMP12

May be a little late but what file types are your music files?

I think evyone is assuming they're mp3 but if they are FLAC files they will not show because WMP does not natively support FLAC files.
There is an extension that works with Vista and it may work in Windows 7 too but I haven't tried it yet.
First it would be good to know what your missing music file types are.

Hello Dave,

about 98% of my library are mp3 files, the other 2% are wma.
I have no clue why the files aren't added to WMP, since they appear on the Music Library folder.

I tried Mr. Grim's fix, but it didn't work either.


Thanks anyway

Ahh..Ok. Thought maybe they were FLAC or another unrecognized type but .wma is surely recognized by WMP.
Have you checked the tags to see if there may be something wrong in the metadata that is preventing WMP from wanting to add them to the library?
Just a thought...

Could you please advise....

What kinds of information could be preventing WMP from adding to the library.

I used EAC with the LAME encoder, then used Media Monkey to put album art into the tags and make sure all the tag info was complete.

I am having the same problems as the previous posters. Music is not showing up in the WMP library. It *is* showing in the libraries>music shortcut location.

Thank you for your help. Haven't been a member for more than an hour, but I will be here for quite a while, it seems.

I went to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\ and just renamed the Media Player folder, then restarted WMP.

All fixed.

Thanks

Mr GRIM, This may all be fundamental to you, but I'm a TRUE novice. How does one stop WMPNetworkSvc? (and re-start)
